Strap for Premier B01 Chronograph 42 Stainless Steel / Blue / Croco / Folding

The lug width of the Breitling Premier AB0118A61C1P1 is 22mm. This measurement is taken with a digital calliper positioned between the two lugs, flush against the case, and is the essential parameter for selecting a compatible strap.

For the Breitling Premier AB0118A61C1P1, an alligator strap with vegetable-tanned leather is the most coherent choice given the model's dress-oriented aesthetic. Alternatively, Tuscan calf leather develops a distinctive patina over time that enhances everyday wearability. A deployant clasp in stainless steel is recommended to preserve the leather and improve wrist comfort.

The strap on the Breitling Premier AB0118A61C1P1 is replaced using a fine-tipped springbar tool. Insert the tip into the lug slot, compress the spring bar and slide out the strap. No specialist watchmaking skills are required, though care should be taken to avoid scratching the case. If in doubt, a watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier can carry out the swap during a strap fitting appointment.
